Dear bananarchists,

The banana stand is currently closed for the winter and will be reopening in mid-March as usual. You can keep updated on future developments (including possible off-season cameo appearances) here or on our Facebook page. You can also request catering through our contact form here.

My dear bananarchists,

It has been a long time since we’ve seen some of you. The winter has been harsh, and the hearts of some grew cold. Please know that during this time we have been working behind the scenes toward the bananarchist cause, wrestling against our own natures to prevent ourselves from slipping into the apathy we were afraid would plague us. Through this struggle, we visited other communities, raised awareness about bananarchist issues, and did time in several Latin American prisons. In the end, our hearts awoke into a new, more ardent vision for frozen banana freedom.

We will be opening again for the season on March 10.

Before that, on the 8th, we will be protesting against Cakeism, materialism, Cupcakeism, Ice Creamism, and commercialism, etc. downtown from 1-8 pm at 6th and San Jacinto. Come protest with us if you can and receive a coupon for a free frozen banana. Stay updated on Twitter in case we have to move.

Dear bananarchists,

As you know, we are currently closed for the season. However–

In some kind of miracle, possibly formed from the detritus of all Christmas miracles everywhere, then driven, sluggishly, by Christmas cheer’s toothless mother, through New Year’s Day and MLK Day and Mozart’s birthday, until finally emerging as a great ball of seasoned holiday potential, ready to burst forth and wreak its havoc upon unsuspecting passersby–we have decided to open up for a few hours on Valentine’s Day.

Have you thought yet about what to do for your beloved or beliked on this Day of all Days? Think no more! Bring them here!

Don’t have a beloved or beliked, or not one that approves of you using this terminology? How about someone on hard times, that could really use a kind banana? Take this opportunity to show love that might not be paid back.

We will have a LIMITED menu this day, due to the complicated nature of opening up for only a day in the off season. Featuring: RASPBERRY TRUFFLE BANANA!! Stay tuned for more menu details. We will definitely also have vegan chocolate.

Please dress up, as it is a fête costumée, which my friend Internet tells me means “fancy-dress party.” For you, this may mean your best cutoffs and a new scarf. For others, it may mean a suit. Or a space suit.

Dear bananarchists,

We are now closed for the season. Hopefully you already knew this, as I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Please do not give up hope. Judging by this year’s bananalmanac, we will probably be returning in mid-March.

For a limited time, or possibly forever, drop off your own t-shirt and we’ll spray paint the Bananarchy logo on it for FREE!

Must arrange for pickup at a later time. Shirt must be light-colored because paint will be black. If you buy your shirt from a company, please make sure it has ethical production and marketing standards. You know what’s a great place to get a shirt? A thrift store!

Bananarchists! As the dawn of a new season draws near, it’s time to once again stand up to The Man. Thanks to years of protests, research, and the help of ageless British spies, we have come to a disturbing conclusion: the event known as “SXSW” is, in fact, run by The Man.

It was a shock for us as well, but it’s the truth: SXSW is the mainstream, ever propagating the rat races of advertising, self-promotion, and commercialism. The enemy is spread far and wide, and he has much swag. We need your help.

This year, Bananarchy is infiltrating SXSW.

The Photo Contest Protest
Infiltrate The Man’s festival by photographing Bananarchists you see in the wild, or photographing yourself in the Bananarchist headgear we’ll be handing out around the Capital City. Share them with Bananarchy online (We’re “bananarchyatx” on Twitter, Facebook, & Instagram) throughout the week. Come to Bananarchy on South First, and your free frozen dessert will be waiting for you! Stay tuned to @bananarchyatx for news from the photo contest front.

You have your mission, Bananarchists. This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Dear Bananarchists,

As you know, SXSW is a special time in Austin. It’s a time to kick back and enjoy the culture, see lots of shows, get free swag from everyone ever, impress your friends with the hipness of your Instagrams, and RSVP for events you probably won’t show up for, right?

WRONG!

Bananarchy will be exposing the evils of commercialism, materialism, and self-promotion that accompany SXSW with a peaceful protest downtown. Dress to express and bring your protest face. We will provide the bananarchist headgear for anyone who forgets theirs, as well as a few chants, protest songs, signs, and propaganda. Musical instruments that are easy to carry are encouraged. We’ll be passing out bananarchist headgear to the public and fighting The Man one educated sister or brother at a time.
